Tuesday October 13th, 2009

EDIT:
I will explain because it's worth visiting.

I am currently dealing with some serious life changes. Not like...getting married or having a kid or anything like that (obviously), but big for me.

I think I may actually have some kind of...need for medication. I don't want to/can't say I'm depressed because I know I am capable of feeling happy. I am very very certain I have anxiety problems. And lately, these feelings have become so overwhelming that I have had no desire to draw, ney, think about art. It doesn't even matter to me right now. And that thought makes me bawl my eyes out because it's not like I have anything else.

So I am seeking professional help. I am going to find a therapist or consider finding someone who can prescribe me something. This may sound old hat and small to some people, considering most of the nation is raised taking some kind of pill, but I've always been against medication. I thought it was more rewarding to overcome mental obstacles.

But if I can no longer find enjoyment in my art or my life, I think I can open my hand out.

Please understand and be patient. And pray that I find things worth doing again.

Thanks

Yeah, I hear ya, half the time I feel as though I need some kind of help, whether it's about constant feelings of apathy, depression, or me being a bit of a hypochondriac. But seeking help is a good step, I'm sure you'll be fine.

I'd say my prayers are with you but that would make me kind of a hypocrite :P,

Depression isn't exactly a choice like some people seem to think :/
Maybe there isn't such a thing as a permanent solution but at least there's a bunch of temporary ones. Usually I end up distracting myself until I can find motivation to exist again.
Honestly, good luck on this, you defiantly aren't the only one who knows how it feels to have the very ground sweep t from under you.
I also avoid pills if possible. But I suggest trying something with natural ingredients for lack of side effects. Also, walks/runs are good, less destination the better.
